The Washington, DC Metrorail system has an elevated Metrorail station connected to the concourse level of Terminal 2 Reagan National Airport. The Metrorail system provides easy and affordable access to locations throughout Washington, Virginia and Maryland. 

For current operating status, view weekday and weekend track work service adjustments. 

Passenger Advisory: Beginning Monday, December 11, 2023, Metro will close two of the four escalators at the station's south airport entrance for an escalator replacement project. Passengers will continue to have access to trains in both directions from a single platform via the other two escalators, as well as from the elevator to the center of the platform. Customers will be minimally impacted and will continue to have easy access to the airport, Metrorail, the Metro station and parking. Read more details here.
